Abstract
A Line Replaceable Unit (LRU) support system incorporates a unitary tray having a rear boss and an integral Air Cooling System (ACS) plenum and an ACS conduit through the rear boss communicating with the plenum. A tray support and alignment element provides a flange with tray attachment studs extending from a front surface, wall attachment studs extending from a rear surface, and an ACS aperture. The wall attachment studs are received in spaced holes in a mounting structure and the tray attachment studs are received in bores in the rear boss of the tray. Insertion of the tray attachment studs aligns the ACS conduit in the rear boss and the ACS aperture in the flange. A backing plate engages the wall attachment studs to secure the tray support and alignment element to the mounting structure. The backing plate includes an ACS spud aligned with the ACS aperture.
